"What are you lookin' at?"

Pet Personalities in Clay

Jean also will consider commission work, and is happy to provide estimates based on submitted photos. ​Prices will vary depending on complexity. Below are samples of her completed ceramic portraits.

This is Davina, who is very independent ​minded and divine in pink. She instinctively knows that life ​is not always black and white.

Laverne spends her days at theBlue Ridge Humane Society.Her favorite pastime is looking for buried treasure, if that treasure is in one of the office trashcans.

And this is Hershel. Like most yellow cats, Hershel is really a dude, but is very confident in his gender identity. Fortunately, he lives in Kansas City, where he's not required to show his birth certificate to use the ​litter box.

This is Oliver, who's human says is 18 years old and "sleeps a lot."

This is Mary, rendered in clay posthumously as a tribute to her sweetness and perseverance. Rescued from a Kentucky breeder after living her entire life in a concrete cell and birthing five litters, Jean dressed her in a white gown adorned with flowers. If ever a gal deserved to be loved and admired, it was Mary.
